I would suggest that by default Yast should not set a domain name in idmapd.conf. However when configuring NIS for username lookup it would be appropriate to have an option "Use NIS domain for NFSv4 username mapping" which should probably default to 'on'.
I'd have to disagree with using the NIS domain as the default. Other *nix implementation use the DNS domain in preference to the NIS domain. -- I did a bit poking around and came up with the following info: There are/were two proposals for using DNS records for finding the NFS4 Domain, one used the RR: NFS4ID. The other used the TXT record _nfsv4idmapdomain. HP-UX uses a (Sun based) nfsmapid which uses _nfsv4idmapdomain DNS text record as "first choice". Solaris should be implementing it too, but in what release, I don't know. Solaris uses the DNS domain by default, then the NIS domain. (I'm not sure if this is dynamic, or set during installation) Both HP-UX and Solaris fall back to a manual setting in a config file. AIX seems to use just a config file, and custom command (chnfsdom) for updating it. The CentOS/RHEL 5 (BSD) man page says "By default, domain is set to be the FQDN of the host, minus the hostname." (assuming it's not set in idmapd.conf) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
